The Aransas County Sheriff in Texas has made an announcement in which he says that during an apprehension effort to locate and arrest a group of illegal aliens, that the federal fugitive criminals strangled two tracking K-9 dogs with their bare hand, in a brutal act of violence that has the community in fury, as those dogs are world renowned for saving endangered animals, and like family to the rancher who raised them.

According to Aransas County Sheriff Bill Mills, on September 1st, Deputies from the Aransas County Sheriff's Office were in pursuit of a man who they believed to be an illegal alien, who alongside 14 to 16 other illegal aliens fled from the scene of a traffic stop of a truck heading northbound along SH 35, just north of Holiday Beach, where the federal criminals then jumped out of the back of the truck that Deputies had pulled over, and as part of standard operating procedure, Deputies began a foot pursuit.

When the Deputies had stopped the Black, Ford-model truck, it had initially begun decelerate towards a stop, at which point the Deputy began to walk towards the vehicle.

As he approached, the vehicle accelerated at “a high rate of speed,” said the Sherrif, and eventually drove off the state highway into a ditch through a fence, coming to a stop in the brush line.

As the truck came to a halt up to an estimated sixteen illegal aliens jumped out of the truck, running in every direction as if they were scattered mice, forcing the Aransas County Sheriff's Deputies to call in backup and a search party to give pursuit.

“Refugio County offered a canine unit to assist; they brought tracking dogs that were not aggressive, non-bite trained,” Sheriff Bill Mills said. “We have used canines like these to ensure the safety of individuals in events like this. We have other well-trained canine units that can defend themselves, but we consciously avoid deploying them off leash in environments like this.”

Several Deputies from the Aransas County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene on horseback, in order to navigate the rough terrain in the area with precision and speed, and the Refugio County Sheriff's Office had sent multiple K-9 Officers as per their joint exploratory mission.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency also gave their assistance, at which time the Aransas County Deputies were able to apprehend three of the suspects, whose immigration status was deemed as “questionable,” per the Sheriff.

At this point, the other illegal aliens began to taunt the Deputies, which is unsurprising due to their violent criminal nature, and as authorities made their way through the overgrown brush, they found two more of the multiple illegals who had fled the scene, who surrendered quickly and were detained.

“Three more individuals were detected in a heavy thicket with two surrendering quickly, and a third responded to demands to come out in Spanish telling officers, ‘If you want me, come and get me,’” Sheriff Mills said. “It was at that time in this same area two canines were found dead from apparent strangulation.”

The horrific atrocity is both barbaric in nature and tells a much deeper tale of the violent potential of illegal aliens, as we've seen on countless occasions.

Each of the K9 dogs from Refugio County sees equipped with GPS tracking devices in their collars, and Sheriff Mills said that the dogs had their collars “twisted tightly about their necks causing their deaths,” as a result of strangulation.

Soon thereafter finding the murderers K9 dogs, a sixth illegal alien, Deputies believed they had the vile criminal responsible for the murder of the two K9 dogs in their custody.

The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) the took the suspect to a checkpoint nearby, where he was interrogated, along with the others who were apprehended.

During the series of interrogations, five males, and one female illegal alien were determined to have arrived into the United States of America from Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico; and all six individuals were transported to the Aransas County Detention Center.

Deputies also paid special attention to the tattoos which were visible on the males who were in detention, saying they're known to be of Drug Cartel affiliation, which was documented, and would explain their soulless nature in the murder of innocent, friendly, and non-aggressive tracking K9 dogs.

Later, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency would take custody of the illegal aliens and bring them for a deportation hearing.

“While most “Bailouts” end with detentions after exhaustive searches they do not show this level of aggressive behavior,” Sheriff Kills said. “Bailouts” is a term used by law enforcement to describe those escaping from a routine traffic stop.

“Serving as a reminder to officers yesterday afternoon that while we are still dealing with individuals who may have a questionable immigration status, these encounters can turn just as violent as any domestic dispute we respond to,” Sheriff Mills said of the brutal nature of the illegal aliens. “And while every effort is being taken to ensure everyone’s safety, we are reminded that not everyone we encounter shows the same level of respect for the rule of law and or life even for highly trained animals.”

“It was an afternoon that left me wondering how many lives of Dementia and Alzheimer’s individuals in the future may have been put at risk with the deaths of these two canines,” Sheriff Mills added, knowing the history of the two dogs.

The Refugio County Sheriff's Offices uses K9 dogs trained at the farm of Refugio rancher Joe Braman, who is also a Refugio County Deputy.

Those dogs if Joe Braman’s are like family to him, loved and trained to often assist with manhunts and other searches, and also give assistance with the elderly in the nation suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer’s; where the ranch of Braman is world renowned for its quality companion and tracking dogs.

The dogs have an even more important value to the world, which is giving assistance to endangered and nearly extinct White Rhinos in South Africa.

“Braman, a Refugio rancher, and businessman, has partnered up with a South African conservation alliance to help stop rhino poaching and bring back an animal population on the brink of extinction with the help of man’s best friend,” VA writes of Braman’s many qualities as a rancher, and servant to humanity.

The founder of the<a href="Ivan Carter, the founder of Ivan Carter Wildlife Conservation Alliance"> Ivan Carter Wildlife Conservation Alliance </a>and an advocate for the White Rhino, Ivan Carter, is also a friend of Braman, and wants to raise awareness about the White Rhino and its grim fate at the hands of those poaching it.

“The ability for free running dogs to track a poacher that many hours old is a capacity we have never done before — this truly is the answer and the fact that these dogs have been trained not only to track man but to actually arrest a person makes them a unique tool that I think has the chance of changing the entire poaching landscape,” Carter said.

The northern subspecies has very few remaining individuals, with only two confirmed left in 2018 (two females; Fatu, 17 and Najin, 27), both in captivity, with the last male of the<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_white_rhinoceros"> Northern White Rhino </a>subspecies having died this past March, and Braman, having traveled to South Africa during a humanitarian visit, has given his time to training the dogs to assist in finding the poachers who are killing these precious creatures.

Now, two of those innocent, beautiful creatures have been strangled to death by savages.

"That could be an officer that got hurt just as easily as (these) dogs," Braman said. "These were some valued dogs that had saved lives, found people in Refugio County and neighboring counties, and I feel horrible for the kennel owner. That is not something we expected to see out there yesterday afternoon."

The two dogs killed were a mix of black and tan coonhound, bluetick coonhound, and red tick coonhound, Braman said, that he has been breeding for several years at his ranch.

"They're not real aggressive dogs — they'll just hold someone at bay until you get there," Braman said of Grunt and Nell. "I just wasn't able to get there quick enough."

"I thought this was just going to be a track down and arrest-type scenario," he later added. "If it's just a bailout, the majority of the time they just have a backpack full of tuna fish or something and they're running, trying to go find work up north — this escalated past that."

Braman's tracking dogs have been used by a wide variety of law enforcement in the past from all around the nation, in an effort to help locate individuals with dementia or Alzheimer's disease who had wandered off in Refugio and neighboring counties, officials said.

As we continue living in the land of the free and the home of the brave, let's reflect on several of those incidents, which we have covered as part of our ongoing efforts at The Goldwater to shine a spotlight on important news that the mainstream media tries to censor with limited to no coverage.

For now, the six illegals who murdered these innocent creatures of the lord are going to be deported, but it's up to the good people of this country to demand that Congress funds and builds a border wall to stop the impending slaughter of more innocent Americans, even our dogs.
